How to Trench for Subterranean Termites the RIGHT Way. Everything you need to know. How and why.

Thanks you Guy! Thanks for being a generous giving person. You have given me hope in getting out of my termite problem.

Thanks, Guy! Your videos are a great help! It's difficult to find any decent pest control information online without contacting a pest control company. You always take the time to give direct advice on specific problems. It's nice for people to know there is a professional they can talk to about this stuff who doesn't have any skin in the game.

Hi Guy, I truly appreciate your efforts to gift agency to homeowners who would rather take pest control into their own hands. I’m treating an elderly handicapped couples home for termites, they are my neighbors and I spoke with them about their anxieties about not being able to afford to pay for the treatment of their home. It is a gift to have someone like you offer it he information in a manner that is easy to consume! Thank you for your time and consideration, it’s really a service to many!

I used to work for an exterminator. I did the trenching. I also went under houses to trench around the piers. If it was to low we would spray the piers from outside really well.

Good day Guy, you may remember I trenched in front of the rocks along the front of my garden in front of the house in Oz. Thanks for your help at that time. We have monitored the results and we feel like pros. 😁😁😁😁. I could send you some photos of the work via email if you’re interested. You’re a good guy. Just so useful is your information and so much common sense with that makes your YouTube channel so valuable. Hope you’re well!

This man is wise. Listen to him. Dont argue with him.

Thank you for your kindness to helping us to safe money especially during this time .God bless you and your family

So glad I found you today Guy. I bought a 120y olf small wood home, it was treated. However the bad wood was not removed and ORK__-pest company wanted to sell me another expensive treatment. Your knowledge will be used by me.

Thank you so much for your wealth of experience expertise and knowledge- I wish my professors at University spoke and taught as clearly and with clarity as you do. You take the fear out of learning by making the complex simple. Simply brilliant! ❤❤❤

This entire video is great!! Best long YouTube I ever watched!!!! I’m glad didn’t skip this video.

Thank you for this. I am going to watch all your videos and will have questions. We have active termites and will be trying to identify them soon. So thankful to know we probably can do this ourselves and save a lot of money on a fixed income. Bless you!

I used Taurus SC in 2019 and it rid all the termites relatively quickly, and I haven't seen a termite since. It is an amazing product. It is expensive but worth every penny. I monitor for termites by simply placing blocks of soft wood pressed into the dirt in various spots and look under them every couple of weeks. If termites are around they find them fast.

You are a great resource. I wish you'd been on YT in 2006 but I guess you were still working and there was no You Tube! I wasted my time digging trenches too deep at first (like a foot), digging 10 ft at a time length, calculated the concentration of Bayer Premise needed and mixed with the bucket. I also pushed in a garden fork (potato fork) a few inches deep all along the trench, then flooded, then soaked the backfill. Saved most of my house but lost the worst area in front (didn't know) because winter came and was going to wait for Spring. The other area I got damage was where I drilled 1/2" holes along my patio (1 1/2' apart) then using a smaller pvc pipe with holes drilled in it making it into a screen and a funnel JB-welded to the top, pushing it down in the ground, and pouring solution in and letting it soak in-but it didn't work. My clay soil didn't take enough solution using just gravity and I got damage. I already had bait stations on the house perimeter and had saved one end of the house using the bait chemical that affects the termite molting (that type works), the stomach poisoning type does not. My stations along the patio picked up the termites and they devoured a wooden bait stick-I mean QUICK! They damaged my house in that area. That's when I called a pro. Using my boreholes, he had a pressure rod that he stepped on the trigger and man he really got some fluid under the patio. Actually had sand volcanoes coming out of the adjacent holes. Anyway he got enough down there to do the job. We trenched the rest of my house and were successful using Bayer's other, newer, non-repellent chemical.

Thank you sir! You are a blessing to us people who are struggling financially and find that they have termites and can't afford a professional exterminator. And know you have to do something and do it yourself and pray it works! Thank you again! I ha

Very good advices! I'm a retired rice mill superintendent and I did all my pest control in house and man we were very vigilant on all pests that try to get a piece of our products. It was quite complex because we were treating so many different areas all cover by 14 different categories that I have to be licensed. Of those, only the Aerial Application Category I could not apply because pilot license was a pre requisite although I took the course just for fun and knowledge and approved it. I tell you this not to show off but to confirm what you said there's nothing in stone regarding to pests but you have to be aware of the least common of the senses the elusive common sense and never relay on one thing. Your approach is spotless why spend many dollars is there is a simple and inexpensive way. For a brief time I worked for a extermination company as branch manager I enjoy solving complex problems to pharmaceutical companies, restaurants and many small industries simply and inexpensive. I enjoy your shows very much and thanks for sharing your experiences with such generosity.

Hi Guy, first off thank you so much for the invaluable information and content you give for free. I watched every second of this (and most of your videos) with that I will be thorough as well to try and paint my picture. Recently I discovered active termites in our property from frass coming out of the wall in three small spots.I climbed into the attic and saw a small mound and poked it with a stick and yes active termites which were about 5--7 feet to the side from where the frass was protruding. So I discover your videos and watch most on termites and due to the frass I assumed they were drywood termites (I am located in north Texas). I had three companies come out to give me quotes and they all stated they were subterranean. My home is one bathroom which is located in the center of the house with all the other piping (laundry room) the companies believed they were coming up through the bath drain area in the center of the house which is close to the location of the frass. As far as the outside, my property has two driveways to enter from so I have a lot of concrete coverage quite large actually. So as for my questions.. 1. Does my information sound like subterranean termites? 2. With having all that concrete should I allow the companies to drill holes to input the termiticide or do you believe I would be good just doing the pellets or trenching the yard myself? And would you recommend pellets or trenching or both? 3. Spot treating they wanted to spray through a small cut open hole to where the bath piping is and foam the wood frass protruding areas of wood.. Spot treating quotes were $300 and to do everything including spot treating and outside trenching and drilling concrete were between $950-1250. I feel I can do most myself but wasn't sure especially with all the concrete. Once again THANK YOU so much for all your time and information as i'm sure you have helped countless people. Hopefully my question will help answer others as well. God bless.
